Hi All,

We at Wisconsin (WIRC) do have a voucher policy:

However, it is meant to serve as a starting point and guideline - largely to encourage non-taxonomically oriented colleagues to consider the reasoning behind, and utility of having research voucher specimens housed in a "permanent" research collection facility. Our language is tied to discussion of voucher specimens in the ESA - SysEB (then Section A):
